I'm out.

It’s a win. Nice moment for Tim. But to watch your major free agent acquisition melt down in the spotlight. I wonder if he bounces back from this. About zero faith in him. I would bet they want Kimbrel in the 9th, and it was the plan when he was acquired.

that's what my dad called it, "a hollywood ending". i can't disagree.

I missed this last night.

LOL. Yeah, that was a little strange.

It was done in such a manner and the game was so good that if MLB ever tries to do this again, it will never measure up.

The game was perfect and no one can honestly say they didn't get chills when the players appeared.

It will be done again though because it was so popular.

I have a feeling someone missed a timing cue there

Agreed. It was fine if Kostner walked out by himself, and like 20 seconds later the players followed. I get they were trying to re-create the scene when Ray Liotta/Shoeless Joe walked into the field for the first time. But he certainly didn't need to be there for half of the soundtrack on his own.




A comment on the 9th, Tim Anderson is going to get all the credit in the world and rightly so. But he doesn't get to the plate as the winning run without perhaps the best at bat of the ballgame by Seby Zavala. Down 0-2, he takes a pitch that most guys would whiff at, fouls one off, then takes three outside of the zone to draw the walk. Two of the three weren't bad pitches. He's hitting 9th, is basically your 3rd catcher yet the Sox don't win without him walking and hitting a HR yesterday. IMO, that solidifies his spot on the roster for the rest of the year. Collins goes down when Grandal comes back.

He's the 2nd catcher now. Collins is the odd man out in a week or two and good riddance. Guy turned out to be the rare Hahn bust.

It's an interesting question. Obviously, someone has made the call that Collins is not an everyday catcher. That's why Zavala was brought up to be the regular when Collins was already on the team. LaRussa is known for believing the are very specific things a catcher must be able to do. I'm guessing Collins isn't capable of doing them. I'm not really sure Grandal is either, but Tony is smart enough to know that's just something he has to deal with. That being the case, I'm guessing you're probably correct.

I almost always spell Kevin Costner's name with a K because I grew up two blocks from the street Kostner.

It was a cool setting, but if they do this every year it's going to get old quickly. It will turn into another version of the NHL football stadium game.

especially because he didn't do it in the movie.

I would have rather seen Ray Liotta come out of the corn and hand a ball off to Costner. I didn't see any of it though so my opinion isn't valid

The ONLY obvious ball that no MLB player (except Baez) swings at is the final pitch #7.

It was cool and all, but I didn't get the chills. This was a publicity stunt--a fucking cool one, but the whole baseball-church-chills-whatever stuff is stupid. Get the chills from TA's home run if you have to get them.

Collins has got to be worried about his job.

No stranger than A-Rod's focus on "African Americans" and home runs (there's a joke in there about din***s), which brought the postgame to an immediate close.

That's one of the funniest--and most fitting--comments I've seen on here.

Bob going for some kind of burn when the Cubs are giving up 2-3 touchdowns a game is a good one

I think those bleachers can fit everyone who attended games at Wrigley for the Milwaukee series this week.
